The Heraklion Traffic Police Directorate has launched a new road safety initiative in collaboration with the Municipality of Viannos, a rural area in the southeastern part of the Heraklion regional unit. The joint action aims to improve road safety conditions on local roads in the region. Tourists driving through Viannos, which lies along routes connecting Heraklion to the southern coast, should expect increased police presence and possible spot checks. Drivers are advised to carry valid documentation, wear seatbelts, and observe local speed limits. Rural roads in this part of Crete can be narrow and winding, so extra caution is recommended, particularly when navigating mountain passes or unfamiliar routes in the area.
